Music

One of the most important things in my life is music. It is essential to my wellbeing on a daily basis, and especially in difficult times. Music has the power to transform, to change our moods and thoughts and therefore our experience of life. It has the power both to put us in touch with our emotions and to lift us out of them if that's what we want! Music has seen me through a lot! And it's not just me either. When my Dad couldn't bear the daily loneliness following my Mum's death, after being together for 64 years, it was the music he loved that got him through each long day - and, five years later, it still does!

I have created playlists for different moods - mellow ballads, 60s & 70s stuff that takes me back to my youth, pull-at-your-heartstrings stuff, awe-inspiring classical pieces, big show tunes and, of course, happy, party, dancing music!! I thought that I would try to share some with you. The only way I can think of to do that is to give you active links to YouTube videos. Just click on any of the active links below to be taken to the selected piece of music. This is just a taster - I will be adding more as we go along. I hope you enjoy this selection. It's a very mixed bag with only one thing in common - they all make me FEEL GOOD!

I especially love live music of all kinds but especially if it has a blues feel. Loved this band last weekend!!
